And what and where is the map file for Bodoni?

The point is that the maintainer scripts do call updmap-sys as root.
With the map file information in TEXMFMAIN (actually, /etc/texmf), this
should have had the result that
- user chris can use all fonts without problems
- user foo gets TeX errors because the fd and tfm files are not found,
and does not even get to the point where dvips or pdftex want to look
at the map files (which would contain entries for these fonts, but the
pfb files wouldn't be available).

In an ideal world, all fonts that were available in teTeX-2.0.2 should
also be available in 3.0, and the maintainer scripts should do
everything for that. Unless the user had a users-specific setup even in
2.0.2, but strictly speaking you didn't have a user-specific setup,
since the configuration files were all in TEXMFMAIN.
